On the summer solstice of June 21st, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer. For the Northern Hemisphere, this is the most 'biased' day of the year, with daylight stretched to the longest of the year and light refusing to fade away. Coincidentally, this year falls on Father's Day, and these two days overlap. Suddenly, I feel like nature is a careful reminder: it illuminates this day with the longest light, probably to tell us that we should go see the person who has been silently shining.

       We often praise the depth of fatherly love, but often overlook the subtle changes hidden in our father's body in time. Have you paid close attention to your father's hands now? Long ago, the tall and firm appearance of youth has faded away, and the knuckles have become thick and deeply grooved. The tiger's mouth is covered with old stains of time that cannot be washed away. The area where the palm has been exerting force all year round, the skin has become thick, hard, and slightly shiny, like an old tool that has been repeatedly polished by time and silently bears weight. It is simple but tough.

       These hands support the stability of our entire life. When it was young, it moved bricks and tiles, twisted screws, and gripped the steering wheel tightly, working hard for life and carrying the livelihood of a family; After a peaceful and smooth life, it never stops, repairing leaking faucets, replacing old light bulbs, packing boxes of heavy hometown goods, and crossing mountains and seas to deliver them to us.

       But time never favors anyone, and the body always quietly records all the running and hard work. I don't know when it started, when he went up the stairs, his knee would first lightly rest, and then slowly catch up with the footsteps; When looking at a phone or reading text, the arm will unconsciously stretch farther and farther away, and the gaze will no longer be as clear as before; After dinner, I often sit alone on the sofa, not using my phone or watching TV, just sitting quietly and remaining silent.  That's not a leisurely rest, it's the body quietly "waiting", slowly buffering the fatigue accumulated all day long. We have all seen these subtle changes, but we have forgotten them in a blink of an eye. Because my father never takes the initiative to say, 'I'm not feeling well today.' Their generation's perception of the body is dull, and they call it 'nothing' until they lie down.

       This is never the regret of aging, but the natural rhythm of life. Half of his life, he devoted everything to supporting us with an ordinary body, creating a worry free world. Now time quietly changes, and those of us who were once sheltered have grown into his confidence and reliance. We should accompany and protect him, and give back to his selfless efforts throughout his life. One more thoughtful reminder to my father, telling him not to try to be strong in everything, to learn to relax moderately, to rest peacefully when tired, and to rest well when tired; More attentive care, reminding him to abandon unhealthy lifestyle habits, adhere to a regular schedule and light diet, and avoid hidden health hazards in daily life; More companionship allows him to bid farewell to the laziness of sitting for a long time, unload the fatigue of life, stretch his body and mind, and gain stability and warmth in the mundane and trivial days.

       The daylight on the summer solstice is the longest day of the year; And my father's love, day after day, never diminished. The deepest emotions in the world do not rely on fancy words, but on years of responsibility and dedication. Laiwo Medical wishes that all silent fatherly love can be treated gently; May all fathers in the world be accompanied by good health and peaceful times.
